Good morning Cougars and Happy New Year! I hope you have enjoyed your break. Just a reminder, school resumes Tuesday, January 4th. Enjoy the rest of your time off.

Good Evening, This is a frustrating and concerning message to have to send out to you tonight, but it's necessary for our students and parents to be aware of the latest "challenge" on TikTok. There is apparently a nationwide challenge for students that is supposed to take place tomorrow. I have no idea where this challenge started, but I wanted to let our community know that we have been made aware of it. We have no reason to believe that there is a local threat. Parents, please have a conversation with your kids about the influence that social media has. Let them know that school is a safe place for them. I have been in contact with the Alger County Sheriff's Department and they are aware of this challenge as well and will be on our campus tomorrow. Students, please remember that any weapon brought on school property will lead to a mandatory expulsion from all Michigan schools. This is clearly stated in the Michigan Revised School Code. We must take every threat seriously. I want to thank our students, parents, community and staff for working together to ensure that Superior Central is a safe environment for learning. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Sincerely, Bill Valima

Good Morning Cougars! This morning at 9:09 we had a lockdown drill at Superior Central that lasted 8 minutes. It was a scheduled drill required by law. At 9:17 we returned to normal activity. I would like to thank the staff and students at Superior Central for their quick actions and cooperation during this drill. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Sincerely, Bill Valima

Good Moring Cougars, Due to poor road conditions and the the forecast for more snow and high winds throughout the day, Superior Central will be closed today, Monday, December 6th. Stay safe.

Good Afternoon SC Parents, You may have received a bunch of emails from PowerSchool this afternoon with attendance reports. Apparently, over 1,000 email reports were somehow "stuck" in PowerSchool's outbox for the last year or so. I want to apologize for the flood of emails you may have received this afternoon. They have assured us the issue has been corrected. Again, sorry for the emails, especially if you have a sound notification turned on for every email you receive. Sincerely, Bill Valima

Due to illness at Brimley, the Homecoming Football Game scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled. Mrs. Bray contacted schools throughout northern lower Michigan and Wisconsin hoping to find a team to play for Homecoming. Unfortunately, there is no one to play. We know this is disappointing.

Just a reminder, there is no school tomorrow, Friday, October 8th due to teacher professional development. Enjoy the long weekend!

Dear Superior Central Families, As you may know, we are currently down a bus driver. Our transportation department met yesterday morning. We have combined some routes, switched a few things, and believe we have a pretty good system in place to continue to pick up all students who ride our buses. New routes will begin on Monday, October 4th. Drivers will be calling over the weekend to confirm pick up times. As soon as we hire another driver we will go back to our old routes. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for understanding that we are doing all that we can to make this as smooth as possible. Sincerely, Bill Valima

Superior Central has an immediate opening for a bus driver. Starting wage is $15.19 per hour. Benefits include single subscriber health, vision, and dental insurance. For more information please contact Bill Valima, Superintendent @ 439-5588 or bvalima@superiorcentralschools.org

Good Afternoon Cougars! It is hard to believe that in 16 hours we officially kick off the 2021-22 school year. The staff is excited to see all of the smiling faces tomorrow morning. Per our current COVID-19 plan, masks for students and staff are optional. We will respect the decision your family makes to either wear a mask or not and ask that you do the same for fellow students and staff. As a reminder, the school doors open at 7:55 with breakfast (free) served until 8:10. K-5 students will report directly to their classrooms upon arriving at school. 6th-12th grade students can grab breakfast and head to the gym. The middle and high school will have a brief assembly and then head to their assigned teacher from the assembly for schedules and short class meeting. The school day ends at 3:11. We ask that all parents and others picking students up wait outside at the end of the day. Also, our girls volleyball teams will host Stephenson beginning at 6:00. Come on out and support the Cougars! We are looking forward to an exciting year. As always, if you have any questions, please reach out. Sincerely, Bill Valima Superintendent/6-12 Principal
